Advanced

By default, shiori will create database in $HOME/.shiori.db. If you want to set the database to another location, you can set the environment variable ENV_SHIORI_DB to your desired path :

• If ENV_SHIORI_DB points to a directory, it will create .shiori.db file inside that directory, so the final path for database is $ENV_SHIORI_DB/.shiori.db.
• Else, it will create a new database file in the specified path.

Usage with Docker

There's a Dockerfile that enables you to build your own dockerized Shiori :

docker build -t shiori .

You can also pull the latest automated build from Docker Hub :

docker pull radhifadlillah/shiori

Run the container

After building the image you will be able to start a container from it. To preserve the database you need to bind the file. In this example we're locating the shiori.db file in our CWD.

touch shiori.db
docker run --rm --name shiori -p 8080:8080 -v $(pwd)/shiori.db:/srv/shiori.db radhifadlillah/shiori

If you want to run the container in the background add -d after run.

Console access for container

# First open a console to the container (as you will need to enter your password)
# and the default tty does not support hidden inputs
docker exec -it shiori sh

Initialize shiori with password

As after running the container there will be no accounts created, you need to open a console within your container and run the following command:

shiori account add <your-desired-username>
Password: <enter-your-password>

And you're now ready to go and access shiori via web.

Run Shiori docker container as systemd image

1. Create a service unit for systemd at /etc/systemd/system/shiori.service.

   [Unit]
   Description=Shiori container
   After=docker.service
   
   [Service]
   Restart=always
   ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker rm shiori-1
   ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker run \
     --rm \
     --name shiori-1 \
     -p 8080:8080 \
     -v /srv/machines/shiori/shiori.db:/srv/shiori/shiori.db \
     radhifadlillah/shiori
   ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop -t 2 shiori-1
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target

2. Set up data directory

   This assumes, that the Shiori container has a runtime directory to store their database, which is at /srv/machines/shiori. If you want to modify that, make sure, to fix your shiori.service as well.

   install -d /srv/machines/shiori
   touch /srv/machines/shiori/shiori.db

3. Enable and start the container

   systemctl enable --now shiori
